3CX phone system integrates remote workers and branch offices
4 March 2008
3CX has released version 5.1 of its 3CX Phone System for Windows. The
latest version of the award-winning internet protocol (IP) phone system
simplifies firewall configuration by channelling all voice-over-internet
(VoIP) traffic over a single computer port. This makes it easy for
remote workers to connect to their company’s PBX phone system and for
network managers to connect different remote PBX systems between them.
Traditionally, firewall configuration for remote SIP/ VoIP systems
and/or extensions can represent a challenge, because it requires many
open computer ports.
Nick Galea, CEO at 3CX said: “We know how important it is for
businesses nowadays to have remote workers and branches seamlessly
integrated to their company’s phone system, and the addition of the 3CX
Tunnel to 3CX Phone System for Windows facilitates this process.
“The 3CX Tunnel, unlike other similar tunnelling protocols, is not
proprietary and can be used with popular VoIP softphones and hard
phones. This is ideal for businesses, as they can use a variety of
telephone options with their IP PBX depending on their needs and
budget.”
The phone system is available in four editions: Free, Small Business,
Pro and Enterprise, all supporting an unlimited number of extensions.
The Free edition is limited to 8 simultaneous calls, whereas the Small
Business edition supports up to 8, the Pro version up to 16 and the
Enterprise edition supports up to 32 simultaneous calls. Call capacity
can be expanded with upgrade packs.
